Success Stories

Millie was a first aid trainer who wanted to share her knowledge with others. She had been teaching classes and volunteering at the hospital for a while now, but she wasn't satisfied. One day, Millie went on a trip to Africa and helped some people in need of medical attention. It was then that she realised that there are many more people out there who needed help than just those in her local community. When she returned home, Millie decided it would be best if she became an instructor so that she could teach as many people as possible about how to save lives in emergencies.

Millie joined the Education and Training Academy to get her teaching qualifications and completed the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training. She is now working as a Paramedic at the Eastbourne District General Hospital and runs private first aid courses in her spare time.

Wesley had a long career in the army. He knew how to save lives and was passionate about teaching others his skills. When he left the army, he decided to teach what he knows best: first aid. Wesley completed both the Level 3 Award in Education and Training and the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement with the Education and Training Academy and instantly found work with multiple companies in Kent and Sussex teaching first aid and CPR.

Soon after, Wesley decided to set up his own first aid company and is now delivering first aid, FREC and FPOS around the Country working with different clients. Wesley is currently enrolled on the Level 4 Award in Internal Quality Assurance Processes and Practices and is looking to reduce his travel and spend more time with his family.

'I was already a trained teacher and spent years dealing with minor sports injuries and it made clear financial sense to add first aid training to my portfolio. It even helps with deal with any scrape my children get in.'

'I became a first aid trainer because I wanted to be able to help people in need. I like being able to use my knowledge of CPR and other life saving techniques on people who might not have the chance if it weren't for me.'

'I loved the idea of being a first aid trainer because I like to help people. The best part is that it's not just limited to my own family and friends but also strangers too. It is an honour to teach other people what I know about first-aid so they can have the skills if needed in case something happens.'
